A Scary Ride...

Oh my, I have just gotten home after fetching my sister from school. Of course not me alone, I am with my mom. I feel sick! My hands are still shivering now, I'm not sure if because I am cold or because I am scared.! I haven been driving for a long time because my mom was sick and then I sprained my foot. As you guys probably know what kind of freaky person my mom can be, she refuses to let me drive her car when she's sick or sleepy, when she's unfamiliar with the road to the destination and when she's in a hurry.

After such a long break, I felt a little scared being on the road and even more afraid on a rainy day. It started off quite well, then this stupid van jz cut into my lane without any warning. He wasn't really overtaking or changing lane, he was just taking up 2 lanes. My mom told me not to horn at him because I am a female and I still have the triangle probation sign on the left hand corner of my car. My mom told me to keep out of trouble.! But I was scared out of my wits because I had not expected it. If that van was in front of me, I would have noticed but just now he was just next to me and I only noticed him when I see that the van is really near me at the corner of my eyes. My mom shouted which kinda scared my soul away I think. For a moment I thought I was going to die when I braked because there were cars behind me. Luckily I wasn't driving very fast and the vehicles behind me braked in time. But I don't understand why female drivers are always in a disadvantage? We might not lose when we quarrel with them anyway. And what if I still have the Triangle Probation thingy? Does that mean I am at a losing end? Actually I think we are more careful than any other drivers on the road because we only have 12 demerit points that can be deducted. But why is it that whenever there's something wrong, people would think it's those under probation who are wrong~! grr!!!

Then I went to LAer's school. Sheila was late so I had to park the car while waiting. As I was reversing to park my car, the car next to me drove forward. My mom shouted again.! She thought that I was reversing very quickly and I was scared out of my wits the second time! When I picking her up at her foyer, my mom warned me to go near the foyer because she doesn't want Sheila to be drenched, so I tried to go as near to the roadside as possible. Maybe I tried too hard, everyone thought that I was going to knock down the students waiting there. My mom shouted for the third time. There was also a school security guard standing at the foyer who stared at me then later laughed at me. Gosh I felt so terrible! I was so ashamed! To think that it was almost a year since I passed my TP and I passed it at my first attempt! Today sucked! It was so disappointing and I bet my mom has more excuses not to let me drive her car out!

After so many things happened, I was a little off-guard. On the way back, I couldn't pay attention. I was so paiseh I won't want to fetch my sister from school anymore or maybe I won't even go to her school again. Anyway in the end, I didn't see the car in front of me stop and it was only when my mom shouted the 4th time that I realised I had to brake. Gosh!

THEN, as I was driving up the slope up my house, the van in front of me stopped and as I drove past her car, she flung her door wide open! Gosh! I managed to brake immediately if not her door will be somewhere else! Oh my, why must everything happen on one day.?

Come to think of it, it wasn't all my fault. Ok, the the 2nd last one when I didn't notice the car in front of me braking was my fault... :(
